Sure, if you have a case like yours

are u saying that my case have bad airflow? and that aircoolers DONT get heat from the GPU?

Nah i was asking. but ye good point, but the MB wil generate heat, some to alot of that wil make it into the air cooler. i think we can all agee that out of case is the BEST case scenario for a cooler

I think its just a name, looking at some pics it does not seem to be high airflow at all

If you have an airflow orientated case, you wont even notice it. Heck even at 325w for extended periods the GPU does not heat up my CPU. If it does, it is only by 1-3c at best.

 

I do have a test bench, and I do consistently get better temps in my case. But you already know that I have an airflow orientated case.

No, i use GNs numbers (open bench) as ref, where D15 and the winner of HWcanucks test(deepcool ass 3)  got beaten by EK240, Gallahad240, H100i pro, evga clc240 (tested by GN) and as we know  in-case is worse for an air cooler than a frontmounted aio 

I have no faith in open bench testing. Not to say those two tests are wrong, just that they are not real world... why didn't they test against better air coolers, though? How about the DRP4, FC140, AK620 and so on?

 

I noticed now the TR PA120 SE just got reviewed by Tom's Hardware. A major piece of marketing, really, with it being compared to inferior coolers and then declared the best he'd ever tested.  Sad.

i agree, but for a  "what are u capable off, at ur best" open bench is the way to go

Fair point, i some what agree  but not every1 has an amazing torrent and a almost amazing "gutted" CM stormtrooper

That is true..

 

But for those who are seeking a high performance build, but choose to build in an oven because they like the looks.. well that's on them.

Well.... buying a test bench is more expensive than using your own PC, and it affects results, so I can't buy into the idea, sorry.

ofc we dont, we just watch GN's vids and find the answer there
